  Bargain hunters may start to consider buying Apple stock on the dip, following the December selloff. Here is what they should know first.Apple stock remains in a funk. Only one week to the dayafter I tossed around the ideaof trimming the position, shares of the Cupertino company dipped 7% from the $180 peak against the Nasdaq’s 4% decline, nearly entering correction territory.A few brave investors and traders must be taking this opportunity to start buying the dip.

Valuations are looking more attractive</b></p>\n<p>AAPL is far from being a dirt cheap stock. The price-to-earnings ratio today is still higher than it had been for at least the full decade prior to the start of the pandemic (see chart below). However, with the recent decline in share price but still resilient business fundamentals, valuations are starting to look more compelling.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/75ae50cce66d14520a3db0ce721b79a3\" tg-width=\"827\" tg-height=\"389\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Figure 2: AAPL's historical price-to-earnings ratio.</span></p>\n<p>The last read on the graph above shows a P/E of 29.0 times as of November 30. As of last check, on December 20, the fiscal 2022 multiple had dropped to 27.5 times. These are roughly the same levels of June 2020, after which Apple stock moved 85% higher in a year and a half.</p>\n<p><b>#2. The deeper the hole, the higher the gains</b></p>\n<p>“Buy low, sell high”. The mantra may seem overly simplistic, but the strategy has worked wonders in the case of AAPL.</p>\n<p>We have often mentioned here, on the Apple Maven channel, that shares of the Cupertino company&nbsp;do best when bought after a selloff. Historically, the one-year gains have been 22% when the stock is bought near a peak, but nearly 40% when bought after a 15% drawdown.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9439be7d48cbf04254a822d9d57576f3\" tg-width=\"601\" tg-height=\"361\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Figure 3: Average one-year return on AAPL, by strategy.</span></p>\n<p>Could this time be different for dip buyers? I think not. To be clear, I do not believe that every stock is worth owning on weakness, as “40% of all stocks have&nbsp;suffered&nbsp;a permanent 70%-plus decline from their peak value”.</p>\n<p>But in the case of Apple, it is highly likely that share price will eventually head higher again, shaking off short-term bearishness and chasing the strong business fundamentals. Having the patience to wait for the next rally is crucial.</p>\n<p><b>#3. Don’t underestimate volatility</b></p>\n<p>All the above sounds bullish at first glance, and an incentive to buy Apple at the current share price of around $168.

Here is what they should know first.\nApple stock remains in a funk. Only one week to the dayafter I tossed around the ideaof trimming the position, shares of the Cupertino company dipped 7% from the $180 peak against the Nasdaq’s 4% decline, nearly entering correction territory.\nA few brave investors and traders must be taking this opportunity to start buying the dip. The Apple Maven highlights three facts that these bargain hunters should keep in mind.\nFigure 1: Apple store in China.\n#1. Valuations are looking more attractive\nAAPL is far from being a dirt cheap stock. The price-to-earnings ratio today is still higher than it had been for at least the full decade prior to the start of the pandemic (see chart below). However, with the recent decline in share price but still resilient business fundamentals, valuations are starting to look more compelling.\nFigure 2: AAPL's historical price-to-earnings ratio.\nThe last read on the graph above shows a P/E of 29.0 times as of November 30. As of last check, on December 20, the fiscal 2022 multiple had dropped to 27.5 times. These are roughly the same levels of June 2020, after which Apple stock moved 85% higher in a year and a half.\n#2. The deeper the hole, the higher the gains\n“Buy low, sell high”. The mantra may seem overly simplistic, but the strategy has worked wonders in the case of AAPL.\nWe have often mentioned here, on the Apple Maven channel, that shares of the Cupertino company do best when bought after a selloff. Historically, the one-year gains have been 22% when the stock is bought near a peak, but nearly 40% when bought after a 15% drawdown.\nFigure 3: Average one-year return on AAPL, by strategy.\nCould this time be different for dip buyers? I think not. To be clear, I do not believe that every stock is worth owning on weakness, as “40% of all stocks have suffered a permanent 70%-plus decline from their peak value”.\nBut in the case of Apple, it is highly likely that share price will eventually head higher again, shaking off short-term bearishness and chasing the strong business fundamentals. Having the patience to wait for the next rally is crucial.\n#3. Don’t underestimate volatility\nAll the above sounds bullish at first glance, and an incentive to buy Apple at the current share price of around $168. But if doing so, I urge traders and investors to pay attention to volatility.\nThe emotional and psychological aspects of investing can be as important as the quantitative considerations, in my view. Those who buy dips must be willing to endure higher volatility, which has increased sharply for AAPL in the past few weeks — see below.\nFigure 4: Annual volatility in AAPL, 1-month rolling.\nBecause Apple stock price is likely to ricochet in the short term, some might be tempted to sell their shares prematurely, should they drop well below current levels. If buying AAPL, be sure to have a clear exit strategy to avoid falling victim to spur-of-the-moment decisions.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1469,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":607022190,"gmtCreate":1639461531954,"gmtModify":1639461531954,"author":{"id":"4091616308316100","authorId":"4091616308316100","name":"Jojolee","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ff6364fb264c8c37a640e64bbb6dcf38","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4091616308316100","idStr":"4091616308316100"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Definitely one to watch","listText":"Definitely one to watch","text":"Definitely one to watch","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/607022190","repostId":"1145391207","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1016,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":812564289,"gmtCreate":1630595379241,"gmtModify":1632470947966,"author":{"id":"4091616308316100","authorId":"4091616308316100","name":"Jojolee","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ff6364fb264c8c37a640e64bbb6dcf38","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4091616308316100","idStr":"4091616308316100"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great article","listText":"Great article","text":"Great article","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/812564289","repostId":"1129827670","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1129827670","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1630308595,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1129827670?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-30 15:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Happy Birthday Warren Buffett: What makes him so famous and successful","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1129827670","media":"moneycontrol","summary":"The world’s most famous nonagenarian turns 91 today and it’s always a good time to reflect on what m","content":"<p>The world’s most famous nonagenarian&nbsp;turns 91 today and it’s always a good time to reflect on what makes him as famous (or successful or rich) as he is – of course, several books (The Warren Buffett Way, by Robert G. Hagstrom, is one that I recommend) have been written on this topic but I am going to try to cover a few points at a high level.</p>\n<p><b>Simple and direct</b></p>\n<p>“The one easy way to become worth 50 percent more than you are now — at least — is to hone your communication skills — both written and verbal… if you can’t communicate, it’s like winking at a girl in the dark — nothing happens. You can have all the brainpower in the world, but you have to be able to transmit it.”</p>\n<p>Simple and direct – I think these are the most important tenants of Buffett’s communication style. &nbsp;It sounds easy to emulate, but it’s really not because most often our parents, schools, colleges, and workplaces push us in the opposite direction.</p>\n<p>The importance of communication to Buffett can be seen from the significance he places on a public speaking course he took at Dale Carnegie (a workplace training and professional skills development organization) when he was younger.</p>\n<p>“I actually have the diploma in the office. And I don’t have my diploma from college, I don’t have my diploma from graduate school, but I have got my Dale Carnegie diploma there because it changed my life,”.</p>\n<p><b>A robust framework and the resolve to stick to it:</b></p>\n<p>Buffett, much like his mentor i.e., Benjamin Graham, possesses the ability to cut through the fluff and think straight.</p>\n<p>The reason why this is probably the most important lesson is that the nature of investing is such that (i) any long-term active investor will witness many periods (sometimes, years) of underperformance, and (ii) every portfolio will have its share of losers. Both apply to Buffett as well.</p>\n<p>Instead of falling prey to herd mentality and letting Mr. Market’s prevalent emotional state bias his decision making, he is able to view businesses rationally.</p>\n<p>Berkshire’s stock performance has lagged the benchmark in numerous years.</p>\n<p>However, a “sound intellectual framework” focused on company fundamentals and the discipline to stick to has meant that the good years, which saw massive outperformance, more than made up for the bad ones.</p>\n<p>Buffett has had his share of lemons too. In fact, as always, in the letter he openly admits that he made a big mistake on a $37 billion investment in Precision Castparts (PCC). He famously swore-off investing in airline stocks in the 1990s and early 2000s, referring to himself as an “air-o-holic.” This addiction seems to have reared its ugly head again, because in the throes of the pandemic Berkshire booked a loss on another set of airline stocks in 2020.</p>\n<p>Again, for every bad airline investment, Buffett has made famously huge windfalls in the likes of Coca Cola, American Express or Apple. At the end of the day, every investor will make mistakes, the key is to remain undeterred if you have a sound system in place.</p>\n<p>Remember, since 1965, Berkshire Hathaway’s shares have returned ~20% annually compared to the ~10% for the benchmark, the S&amp;P 500. In cumulative terms, that is a staggering ~28,00,000% rise vs. ~23,500% for the S&amp;P!</p>\n<p><b>Owner mindset</b></p>\n<p>“….That action increased your ownership in all of Berkshire’s businesses by 5.2% without requiring you to so much as touch your wallet. Following criteria Charlie and I have long recommended, we made those purchases because we believed they would both enhance the intrinsic value per share for continuing shareholders.”</p>\n<p>The quality of a company’s business is reflected in metrics like growth both in revenue and retained earnings, return on capital, among others. Of course, the price one pays in relation to these metrics is an important factor, but periodic fluctuations in price should not matter much to a fundamentals-focused investor.</p>\n<p>Buffett has often emphasized that Berkshire’s portfolio is “a collection of businesses” not just tickers on a screen.</p>\n<p>In the same vein, Buffett highlights Berkshire’s property/casualty insurance operations, BNSF and Berkshire Hathaway Energy, among many other privately owned businesses that don’t have daily stock prices. Hence, they probably don’t receive as much attention as Berkshire’s investment portfolio of “marketable stocks”.</p>\n<p>However, it is clear from the letter that Berkshire remains focused on investing behind and growing these “family jewels”.</p>\n<p>The same philosophy is behind Berkshire’s practice of regularly buying back its own stock. Just in 2020, it repurchased $25 billion worth of its shares. Buffett again chooses to focus his shareholders’ attention on the underlying effect of the action.</p>\n<p><b>Trust and decentralization</b></p>\n<p>Indian promoters are often accused of holding on to control and not delegating enough to professional managers. The Berkshire Hathaway Empire is built on the exact opposite – decentralization.</p>\n<p>Over the years as it has expanded into a giant conglomerate, Buffett has made sure that its various subsidiaries (in many of which they own 100% stake) are autonomous units with near complete decision-making powers.</p>\n<p>Buffett takes minutes to size people up and deals are often closed on an initial phone call. If Buffett has any doubt regarding sincerity or trustworthiness of a potential associate, he is known to promptly walk away.</p>\n<p>A comment by Jim Weber, head of Berkshire unit Brooks Running Company, captures this approach: “I have never been given so much autonomy in my long business career, and have never felt so accountable and responsible.”</p>\n<p>In a way, trust is at the heart of Berkshire Hathaway’s and Buffett’s business model.</p>\n<p><b>Circle of competence</b></p>\n<p>“What an investor need is the ability to correctly evaluate selected businesses. Note that word “selected”: You don’t have to be an expert on every company, or even many.</p>\n<p>You only have to be able to evaluate companies within your circle of competence. The size of that circle is not very important; knowing its boundaries, however, is vital.”</p>\n<p>Buffett’s ability to live within his circle of competence means that he is often able to make important “informed” decisions about companies and industries; being a prodigious reader helps. He is able to avoid businesses he doesn’t understand, and hence doesn’t fall prey to trend-based investing.</p>\n<p>He has pointed out how none of the top 20 companies by market cap in 1989 were in the top 20 today. He also highlighted that even in a booming industry over the last century, automobiles, there were over 2000 defunct companies.</p>\n<p>By 2009, there were just three left, of which two had been rescued from bankruptcy by the US government.</p>\n<p>“…there was a lot more to picking stocks than figuring out what’s going to be a wonderful industry in the future.”</p>\n<p>To end this piece, I want to leave you with words from the man himself that in a way capture the inspiration for starting my own investment firm:</p>\n<p>“To invest successfully over a lifetime does not require a stratospheric IQ, unusual business insights, or inside information. What’s needed is a sound intellectual framework for making decisions and the ability to keep emotions from corroding that framework.”.</p>","source":"lsy1630308682275","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Happy Birthday Warren Buffett: What makes him so famous and successful</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nHappy Birthday Warren Buffett: What makes him so famous and successful\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-30 15:29 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/markets/happy-birthday-warren-buffett-what-makes-him-so-famous-and-successful-7400621.html><strong>moneycontrol</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The world’s most famous nonagenarian turns 91 today and it’s always a good time to reflect on what makes him as famous (or successful or rich) as he is – of course, several books (The Warren Buffett ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/markets/happy-birthday-warren-buffett-what-makes-him-so-famous-and-successful-7400621.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BRK.A":"伯克希尔","BRK.B":"伯克希尔B"},"source_url":"https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/markets/happy-birthday-warren-buffett-what-makes-him-so-famous-and-successful-7400621.html","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1129827670","content_text":"The world’s most famous nonagenarian turns 91 today and it’s always a good time to reflect on what makes him as famous (or successful or rich) as he is – of course, several books (The Warren Buffett Way, by Robert G.

If Buffett has any doubt regarding sincerity or trustworthiness of a potential associate, he is known to promptly walk away.\nA comment by Jim Weber, head of Berkshire unit Brooks Running Company, captures this approach: “I have never been given so much autonomy in my long business career, and have never felt so accountable and responsible.”\nIn a way, trust is at the heart of Berkshire Hathaway’s and Buffett’s business model.\nCircle of competence\n“What an investor need is the ability to correctly evaluate selected businesses. Note that word “selected”: You don’t have to be an expert on every company, or even many.\nYou only have to be able to evaluate companies within your circle of competence. The size of that circle is not very important; knowing its boundaries, however, is vital.”\nBuffett’s ability to live within his circle of competence means that he is often able to make important “informed” decisions about companies and industries; being a prodigious reader helps. He is able to avoid businesses he doesn’t understand, and hence doesn’t fall prey to trend-based investing.\nHe has pointed out how none of the top 20 companies by market cap in 1989 were in the top 20 today. He also highlighted that even in a booming industry over the last century, automobiles, there were over 2000 defunct companies.\nBy 2009, there were just three left, of which two had been rescued from bankruptcy by the US government.\n“…there was a lot more to picking stocks than figuring out what’s going to be a wonderful industry in the future.”\nTo end this piece, I want to leave you with words from the man himself that in a way capture the inspiration for starting my own investment firm:\n“To invest successfully over a lifetime does not require a stratospheric IQ, unusual business insights, or inside information. What’s needed is a sound intellectual framework for making decisions and the ability to keep emotions from corroding that framework.”.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":294,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":813382067,"gmtCreate":1630131941359,"gmtModify":1704956425816,"author":{"id":"4091616308316100","authorId":"4091616308316100","name":"Jojolee","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ff6364fb264c8c37a640e64bbb6dcf38","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4091616308316100","idStr":"4091616308316100"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Excellent article","listText":"Excellent article","text":"Excellent article","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/813382067","repostId":"1149850459","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":154,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"defaultTab":"posts","isTTM":false}
